Uses of information and communication technologies in life sciences like PowerPoint presentation and other platforms will make learning and teaching easier.
Furthermore, a subject like a biology needs different approaches through teaching and learning and ICTs will be the better tool for that. Sometimes some students finding difficult to learn in the classroom, use of ICTs especial in biology will create more opportunities for learners to learn better.

How easy it is to interact with learners in this kind of learning even though for others it can be so difficult to keep up.With this teachers and students will be able to share as many  opinions as possible and look at the topic at any stage.
How do we make sure that the intergration Is for the best and benefit all the learners.
by engaging in different platforms like whatsapp and google classroom.

Using ICTs for biology subject is a good initiative it helps those having difficulty understanding the old methodology of teaching also engages learners with the skills of manipulating a computer, which will be a valuable skill in future place of work. however the problem is with the under developed rural areas where internet connectivity is the issue.  Yes schools can provide devices and data but connectivity is going to be a problem. I used to live there and days could pass by not chatting on WhatsApp because of poor reception. If something could be done about that then we are good to go😁

The use of technology in teaching biology
Technology has become the new way of teaching in high schools and higher learning institutions. There are advantages and disadvantages to it, some learners in the rural areas do not have access to laptops, computers, Wi-Fi some do not even have electricity. However for some learners who have access to these materials learning is made easier for them, the teacher uses technology to enhance their understanding of the concept like videos and other technological materials used in class. Biology requires a lot of practical work and theoretical work and for this to be possible technology is an essential. Also studies have shown that students who use forms of technology for learning have a higher pass rate than students who are not exposed to it.

Tho pandemic of covid-19 have enforce creativity to everyone. Nobody knew that distance learning is possible. Today we are have lessons in comfort of our home with laptop and computers. However not everyone is privileged to have such resources at home. I would suggest that department of education to ensure that high school learners can do experiments over the phone that need training for teachers to do so. Everything is possible with creativity and availability of resources. For varsity students who need lab they may perform also experiment over the phone if it’s possible. Then this requires to ensure all students do have access of the laptop and data or WiFi usage in order this to be successful. We should remember so many people are living under the poverty line. So it’s education need to make sure every student do have the access to owning the laptop and the schools need to provide data monthly.

Vulnerable learners using  E-learning.

There still is a lot of work that needs to be done, majority of students aren't privileged enough to have unlimited data/ wifi it might be difficult for them to engage in such platforms unless necessary tools are provided such as training, time and gadgets that have the efficient Biology programs and seameless connection

Many learners with barriers may need extra attention when it comes to digital learning but not all can be granted such because of many personal reasons. learners from financial unstable households will never cope with this digital learning because some of their parents have go to work and obviously their siblings cannot be patient enough to help them. so I feel like digital learning neglects inclusive education.

Teaching biology using technology might be good for some students but there ate those learners that requires extr  support how are they going to get supported and what measures is the teacher going to take to mske sure even learners with learning barriers and impairments are being included in these online lessons?

Using ICTs in learning biology is indeed effective but for rural schools it is a different story because our department failed to supply rural schools with equipment, training and resources for this type of learning and it is somehow too late for the department to start helping in order to incorporate rural schools into this new method of learning because of the Covid19 issue. But inorder to insure that rural areas are incorporated into this new method, the department still needs to provide resources and training to rural areas just as it has done in urban areas.

I think it is a great initiative to use technology when teaching school subjects such as biology. Teachers need to be trained to use technology and resources need to be distributed even in the rural areas so that every learner can benefit. Teachers must be trained so that they can have interesting lessons using technology. This is indeed effective more on theoretical work than in practice

The use of ICT's has taken over the education system, especially in the urban areas. Learners are taught their school subjects through technology. Biology is also one of the subjects taught in schools and requires a lot of practical and theoretical work. The use of ICT's has proven to be effective especially in the theoretical side of biology. What do you think needs to be done in order to incorporate this new method also in the rural areas and insure that all learners benefit?

First of all we need to understand that learners are coming from a different background. Not every learners will cope   with this online learning. Many learners don't have equipment or materials to study during this pandemic.Even those who have devices won't have data or WiFi every time
to connect. So learners from disadvantage background will be left behind.
